RICCA is a bar, located at Kagurazaka. Even now, there are Japanese traditional atmosphere and alley in this town. I created this design to express Japanese aesthetic sense. In Japan, there is cultural event is known as “Hanami”, which means “cherry blossom viewing”. This unique event is happened only in couples of week of early spring. Inspired by this moment, I designed this bar with beauty, glamorous, strength and fragility of Hanami.
The design has its unique character and vision of its own. If you strategically follow the design logic of how to highlight those originalities the answers naturally come to you. There are no absolute rules in design, but the essential design does exist, and it makes the brand’s character and vision stand out when you follow the path. An architect, and an interior design might not be only creating structures of buildings physically and also influencing relationship in between people, their sentiment and experience, miraculous encounters, and more. As long as the design is inspiring people’s imaginations and memories in their life, creating great relationship with them, then it would eventually have a significant connection with the society and community. We believe we can contribute to society with the design.
